Question

a shoba's mother age was three times as old as shoba's 5 years ago, after 5 years she will be twice as old as Shoba. How old is Shoba today? ​

Answer 1

At present,

_________

Shoba's age = x years

His mother's age = 6 times of

Shoba's age

= 6x years

Five years from now

________________

Shoba's age = ( x + 5 ) years

According to the problem given,

x + 5 = one by third of his mother's

present age

x + 5 = 6x / 3

x + 5 = 2x

5 = 2x - x

5 = x

Therefore ,

Shoba's present age = x = 5 years

His mother's age = 6x

= 6 × 5

= 30 years
